Hello frank,
I am also looking for something like this where users wants to view the results in Analyse tool with padding 0.
e.g. 123.1 show as 123.10 or 123 show as 123.00 etc, .

but before i try, will SEARCH function consider it as numeric value so that data can be searched as "area < 123".

Thanks
Rash

Use an XFM Expression Evaluator for the PBA string. Here's the Help file example:

Round

Round off a value.

double XFM.Round (double value, Int digits)

XFM.Round(3.141592654, 2) results in 3.14

You can substitute the Property Name for the value in that example:

XFM.Round(Geometry_Area, 2)

This expression also works in the Labeling tool to limit the number of decimal values.

What about:

TOSTR (n,i1,i2)

Converts a number to a text string. The parameter “n” is the number (floating point or integer). i1 is the minimum text string width. i2 is the number of decimals to be used.

Example: s = tostr(sin(50), 6, 4) results in the text “0.7660.”
